Most readers of this site already know about my passion for Russ Ballard - this great musician, from whom each one of us knows at least one song, just to mention one of my favourite quotes again. And due to this passion, this additional page has been created, on which it's all about the concert of the year. On September 28 2013 the time has come - the maestro will play in a wonderful setting for an exclusive concert at the venerable Lisbon Coliseu. To support this a bit, I've created for the official newsletter advertising banners that fit perfect as facebook cover-photo, as well as a Russ Ballard wallpaper. If you want to receive the official newsletter to never miss news concerning Russ, simply send an email to: russ.b.news@hotmail.co.uk or follow the official Facebook page, on which Russ' son Christian Ballard also is involved, under: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Russ-Ballard

What is now left to say? If you love his music and want to hear it played more often on the radio, simply tune in to MAR - Merseyland alternative radio, every sunday at 5pm C.E.T. Then the -for me- familiar voice of the wonderful Paul Jay comes out of the speakers, who invites you to his T-Time Show where week after week, the now famous, Russ Ballard slot is running. Russ himself has recorded a thanksgiving for Paul Jay, which is also played, followed by one or two of his countless hits. Thank you Paul, for your friendship and for your effort to Russ.

"Last but not least," here is a big thank you for a very special person, without whom this would not have come about. You know that you're meant without mentioning you by name. Equally I want to say thank you with these lines - thank you for a wonderful friendship, that would never have started without the love for Russ' music and hopefully lasts until the end of time.
